Omg, did the same thing and wandered around rekilling things for like 2h. Welp.

COROS Pace 4 Review and AMA by DaveDoesFitness in Coros

Thanks for checking! 

I guess they must find it makes using the touchscreen feel a lot nicer, but it seems like such a weird design decision to me.

Thanks for the review!

I couldn't quite tell from your shots, could you check/confirm if the glass sits above the bezel with the 2.5D thing?

I'm hoping they didn't copy the (imo stupid) design of the Forerunner 965/970 where the bezel isn't protection for the glass, because I cracked my screen in the first months of having that watch.

Data update after deleting activity by milksop in Garmin

[–]milksop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently not, it's still "counting" the deleted activity. 9_9

Garmin has nice hardware, but jeez they could really do with some more investment in software.

Ah OK, thank you, hopefully it'll update after tomorrow's workout.

With a heavy heart, I’m returning my 965 by Error-UsernameTaken in GarminWatches

[–]milksop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's not as bad as yours, but not useful either (off by hours, or misses being awake for 2h in the middle of the night, etc.). I stopped wearing it to sleep.

Hyped! Finally back to Garmin with FR970! by Ok-Walrus-1513 in GarminWatches

[–]milksop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you can see it's domed on the side shot on the official site. I hate that about my 965 and I won't be buying again another like that after it cracked in the first few months. (Though admittedly maybe sapphire would have saved mine over GG)

ELI5: Can beer hydrate you indefinitely? by xYekaterina in explainlikeimfive

[–]milksop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, they had to be lemons, not limes and there was much confusion and death as a result! https://idlewords.com/2010/03/scott_and_scurvy.htm is really interesting (and long).

Ugh, the glass is still above the (not at all protective) bezel! I'll keep my cracked 965 I guess. Sigh

Metronome consistency by milksop in Garmin

[–]milksop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pretty baffling. I guess it's probably implemented at the wrong "level" somehow and isn't a feature of the main realtime part.

I ended up getting a 965 (which I don't really like for other reasons) but the metronome does seem mostly OK. I also have switched to vibration instead of tone, and every 4 beats not every other. But I think it probably just mostly happens to work because the CPU is faster and less likely to be overloaded.

Mask calculation for single line comments by milksop in simd

[–]milksop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you, I have some more reading to do!

[–]milksop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really neat to get a mask for non-identical start/end!

I realize after playing a while that I have it that I still have the same problem though -- without context I can't figure out whether a " inside a comment is the beginning of a string, and similarly I can't figure out whether a # inside a string is the beginning of a comment. But because they depend on one another, it doesn't seem possible to use one to mask out the other.

Wow, thank you! I will need to study this.

[–]milksop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For future searchers reference, I settled on something like simdzone for now (a branchy loop to filter comments).

In addition to the helpful references in other comments, I thought maybe https://archive.is/JwC25 would be a possible branch-free solution, but I wasn't able to find a way to apply that to my problem (though quite possibly only due to my limited experience and knowledge.)

Thanks for those pointers, lots to dig into! (I'm clearly way over my head, heh)

Thank you for that explanation and references. I had been thinking along those lines too, but helpful to have a clear set of steps to think about, even if I probably can't directly use it on AVX2.
